Crypto exchange FTX Trading’s Japanese arm FTX Japan plans to resume withdrawals by the end of this year. While the withdrawals are currently suspended, FTX Japan’s executive said on Monday that the team is already developing its withdrawal system.
FTX Japan’s executives in an interview said it is preparing a system to resume withdrawals by the end of the year, reported Japan Broadcasting Corp. on November 21.
